honestly reddit killing itself has been the only real entertainment I've gotten from reddit My theory is that July is the beginning of FY24 and Advance Pub/Conde Nast told Huffman he's fired if he doesn't turn it around and actually turn a profit, which is why it seems like he's acting irrational. In reality he's totally rational, it's just everyone forgetting that tech CEOs aren't where they are because they're talented, it's because they make (or steal) a lovely web app and lie to investors about it long enough to get lucky once.

Bass.exe posted:So Elon Musk directly inspired all this. This makes so much sense, and was also exactly what I (as a tech worker) was worried about when Musk took over Twitter. Twitter was obviously going to implode eventually under Musk, but if it didn't do it fast enough, other tech companies' management might decide that they don't need their workers either. I wouldn't be surprised if Musk was semi-directly responsible for the current tech-industy-wide layoffs and chaos.

I wouldn't be surprised if Musk was semi-directly responsible for the current tech-industy-wide layoffs and chaos. he is I felt echoes of it, other people I know felt it in more traditional tech jobs, wannabe silicon valley CEOs saw early Musk bullshit and latched on and committed and it worked for them like it worked for him lol just bizarre pointless directives, people who obviously don't know technology learning key buzzwords, inviting themselves to tech decision making and demanding Thing X and Y but guess how many drove teslas before, and probably still do (if not for the marred public image, but since when are tech CEOs self aware)

like make no mistake, the rich piece of poo poo driving the Model X in Seattle making $400k a year legitimately believes Elon Musk is a genius, and the people who hired him are too stupid about technology to know otherwise

So he's trying to pull a Musk and screw with a community in order to give off the impression he has any sort of clue about what he's doing. Super.quote:i bought a Something Awful account on Mar 23, 2023 Gone Fission posted:condolences on your mental illness WAIT

Lick Joe posted:There's also Tildes.net which seems promising since it's invite only and modded a bit more closely, but also the userbase seems pretty small at the moment. I've got a couple invites if anyone wants to check it out though. I am also enjoying Tildes better than Lemmy. Its UI is more pleasant, the way it is setup, ran, and the day to day experience is basically a more mature and stable Beehaw.org on Lemmy. I find myself going to Tildes and SA the most each day for my chit chat and conversation.
